Abstract

Aiming at the current charging dilemma of electric bicycles, this paper proposes a method for determining the location and capacity of centralized charging and battery swapping stations. Based on POI data, this study identifies hotspots of charging and battery swapping demand in the research area, constructs a comprehensive model targeting the minimization of operators' costs and users' time costs, and employs the simulated annealing-particle swarm optimization (SA-PSO) hybrid algorithm to solve the model for obtaining the locations of the stations and the configuration quantity of equipment. Through case analysis, the results of location and capacity determination for centralized charging and battery swapping stations in the research area are obtained, providing theoretical reference for electric bicycle charging and battery swapping operators.
